Don't call it Lake Maury anymore

Noting that there is no definitive proof that there isn't a gigantic sea monster lurking below the surface, the board of the Mariners' Museum has formally changed the name of Lake Maury to ... Loch Maury.

No, really.

It has to do with (1.) the museum's "Dinosaurs of the Deep" exhibit, (2.) the fact that monsters are often associated with Scottish lochs, and (3.) the long-standing rumor of a gigantic sea creature living in Maury's waters and waiting for its chance to pounce and devour unsuspecting museum guests.

Museum spokesman John Warren said he considers the potential for sea monster attacks on museum grounds to be "almost non-existent, probably." He acknowledged that his fingers were crossed when he said it.
